2. Tilslut vandledninger: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the clearly marked inlets on the valve body using sweat connections. Ensure proper soldering techniques are used to prevent leaks. The valve is designed for 1/2" connections.
3. Tilslut udgangsledninger: Connect the shower and/or tub spout outlet lines to the corresponding ports on the valve.
4. Test for lækager: Before closing the wall, turn on the main water supply slowly and check all connections for leaks. Address any leaks immediately.
5. Installer patron: Insert the ceramic disc cartridge into the valve body. Ensure it is seated correctly.
6. Installer trimsæt: Once the wall is finished, install the decorative trim kit (sold separately) according to its specific instructions. This typically includes the escutcheon, handle, and spout.

Operation

The PROFLO PF4001LS valve is a pressure-balanced mixing valve. This means it automatically adjusts the hot and cold water mix to maintain a consistent temperature, even if there are sudden pressure drops in either the hot or cold supply lines (e.g., someone flushes a toilet). The valve operates by rotating the handle (part of the trim kit, sold separately) to control both water flow and temperature.

• Temperaturkontrol: Rotate the handle to adjust the water temperature. Typically, rotating counter-clockwise increases hot water, and clockwise increases cold water.
• Flow kontrol: Pulling the handle out or pushing it in (depending on trim kit design) controls the water flow.
• Temperature Limit Stop: Most trim kits include a temperature limit stop feature that can be set to prevent scalding. Refer to your trim kit's instructions for adjusting this.

Opretholdelse

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PROFLO valve.

• Rensning: Clean the visible parts of the valve (trim kit) with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Udskiftning af patron: If you experience consistent drips, leaks, or difficulty in temperature control, the ceramic disc cartridge may need replacement. The one-piece design allows for relatively easy replacement. Turn off the water supply, remove the trim, and follow the instructions for cartridge removal and installation. Replacement cartridges are available from PROFLO or authorized dealers.
• Periodisk eftersyn: Periodically inspect the valve and connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Address any issues promptly.
